Cold Chow for Hot as Fuck Days

When it's hot as fuck out many people don't want to slave over a hot stove. I sure as hell don't. My go to is almost anything you don't have to cook. We eat a lot of salads in the summer so I'm always looking for ideas to keep from being bored with my leafy greens. Adding in meats, cheeses, fruits, and nuts seem to work for me. The kids still see the leafy greens and prefer not to partake in the healthy fucking nutrients contained within those leaves. However, there are many things that can be added to dress that shit up. When I do salad I almost always add at minimum cheese and fruits. Nothing mixes it up more than adding in the meat and nuts too. I like a good salad with mixed greens of spinach, romaine, kale, and arugala. Add some tomatoes and cucumbers. Top that with some grilled chicken, feta cheese, olives, apples, pecans, and you'll have a damned good meal featuring your favorite leafy greens! Mix that shit up. There are so many different combinations you can easily eat a different salad every day through the hottest parts of summer. Hell throw some pasta together with vegetables and make pasta salads. I did a cold rice salad for a pot luck once and it went over quite well. Sometimes I even make my own salad dressings. I'm not fond of a lot of the creamy commercial dressings so I've learned to throw together a damn good honey Dijon. It's never the same twice since I like to change the herbs often. So get creative, make some salads, and try to stay cool in this face melting heat!
